About Moms for Animals
We think we're saving them. But if you look closely, they're saving us right back.
Our Story
Our story began the day a teenage girl — lost, hurting, and unsure about life — learned about the fragile journey of baby sea turtles. She watched them, one by one, make their way toward the waves — fragile, determined, alive.
And something shifted.
In that moment, she saw purpose again. She saw hope. And a mother's prayer was answered.
Because that girl was my daughter. And as much as I tried, my love alone wasn't enough to reach her.
But when she saw those tiny sea turtles struggling toward the ocean — helpless yet full of fight — something inside her came alive. Her heart opened. And in that moment of connection, so did mine.
Our relationship began to heal, one heartbeat at a time, through our shared love for animals. I often say it was the baby sea turtles who saved her — and, in many ways, saved me too.
That was the first spark.
The second came years later, when war broke out in Ukraine. Families were fleeing their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs — and many were forced to leave their beloved pets behind. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop imagining those terrified animals waiting for someone to come.
Then one night, I saw a post from a rescue team in Ukraine working tirelessly to save abandoned and injured animals. They needed help. I donated immediately — and for the first time since the war began, my heart felt lighter. I was helping.
That moment changed everything. I realized that even from my own home, even as a mom with full hands and a full life, I could make a difference. And I knew I wasn't alone.
I reached out to other moms — women just like me — who wanted to protect, nurture, and love, not just their families but the vulnerable creatures of this world.
Together, we became Moms for Animals — a circle of compassion, where a mother's love extends beyond her home and family.
Because animal rescue should be simple — even for moms with full lives!
Born from a Mother's Heart
Our lives as moms are full — overflowing with love, responsibility, and constant motion. And yet, there's something about the animal world that brings us back to stillness.
The gentle touch of fur against skin. The way a rescue looks at you with wordless gratitude. Even when we can't hold them, we can feel them — deep in the quiet of our hearts.
We think we're saving them. But somehow, in their eyes, in their resilience, and in their trust — they save us right back.
Our Mission
To bring love, hope, and protection to animals in crisis by mobilizing mothers into a movement supporting the heroes who rescue.
We believe that compassion doesn't need a title, a login, or a cape. It just needs a mother's touch — steady, strong, and endlessly kind.
Our Promise
Through The Mama Bear Club, your love becomes action. Together, we reach animals in crisis after wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and war. We lift up the rescuers who never stop showing up. And we do it as mothers — proving that even in full, chaotic lives, our hearts still have room to heal the world.
Our Heartbeat
Because when we protect them, we rediscover the parts of ourselves that needed saving, too.
